Besides, if they turned an approving eye toward something as shockingly unconventional as shoes with colors other than black, that would start us down the slippery slope to such abominations as, dare I say it?, shorts. It would be the end of life as we know it.  |
Sigh....
You're missing the point entirely too. It's called
"uniform standardization". You know, the old dinosaurs who also say you can't wear collared shirts; wear shirts with different colored stripes other than white or black; don't use pink or other colored whistles; wear grey, orange, yellow, etc. pants....or track pants, jeans, etc.; wear white or red warm-up jackets; wear white, yellow, pink, green, mauve or argyle socks; wear ball caps, toques, ear-muffs,etc.; etc., etc., etc......
Hey, let's get the officials to
all dress differently. Maybe nobody will know who to b!tch at anymore.
"Hey you....yeah, you....in the bustier, the yellow wig and the George Bush mask....did you make that call?"
Great idea, BITS.
